Dasha’s artistry is built on a foundation of authenticity, raw emotion, and relatability—qualities that mirror her own genuine self-expression. Growing up in San Luis Obispo, California, she was immersed in a rich blend of country, folk, and Americana from an early age. This deep-seated connection to her musical roots shines through in her work, marking a transformative period in her career with this deluxe album release.


The new tracks on What Happens Now? reveal that Dasha is far from a one-dimensional artist. Her ability to craft thoughtful lyrics and connect with listeners on a profound level is evident throughout the album. A particular highlight is "Leaving Don't Mean Goodbye," a song that stands out with its evocative banjo lead and Dasha’s velvety vocals. The track captures the bittersweet essence of moving on from a past relationship, with a drum-heavy chorus that amplifies the emotional intensity. Dasha’s voice is both tender and powerful, illustrating her ability to convey complex feelings with grace and depth.


Another standout is "Ain't No Friend of Mine," a track where Dasha seamlessly merges pop and country influences. This midtempo anthem explores the painful reality of seeing a best friend become romantically involved with an ex. The song’s catchy rhythm and relatable lyrics offer a blend of heartache and defiant resilience, and Dasha’s soaring vocals drive the message home with a blend of vulnerability and strength.


The deluxe edition of What Happens Now? not only reinforces Dasha’s reputation as a rising star but also highlights her versatility and growth as an artist. Each song is a testament to her evolving sound and her ability to weave personal experiences into compelling music. The new tracks are more than just additions to her discography; they represent a significant step forward in her artistic journey.


“I've never really felt at home in any other space until the Country genre. Releasing the deluxe version of What Happens Now? Feels like the end of an era,” says Dasha in a press release. “I'm really proud of this project and the chapter we created together and it has set me up for even better and brighter things in the future. The world of Country generously opened their arms so big for me and my debut. Artists like Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini and Keith Urban have really encouraged me to go bigger and bolder while doing what I love as a human and an artist. For that, I'll be forever thankful.” 


The project is a remarkable showcase of Dasha’s creative and emotional range. The album combines heartfelt lyrics with innovative production, proving that Dasha is not only riding the wave of her initial success but actively shaping her future in country music. With this release, she demonstrates that she’s here to stay, and we eagerly anticipate the next chapter in her musical story. Dasha’s evolution is a testament to her talent and dedication, and it’s clear that the best is yet to come.
